Safari is definitely in the technological pessimism camp as that's Apple's party line on the open web. Safari has continuously caused "headache" to businesses that rely on tracking…

Well that's the thing the article touches, people tend to think that military history is not studied in a serious manner as far as an academic discipline goes. Military academies c…

Of course they put themselves in the shoes of the guys holding your privacy in contempt as, in the best of case, a measure to save at worst a few days of engineering hours. They im…

I look at the different language wikis all the time for that reason (and because I'm a native Spanish speaker who prefers the English Wikipedia), but it's just routine to scroll to…

Just like you could just use nano in place of IntelliJ. But the idea that Postman is actually git in that analogy is hogwash and a way to wrest data out of people.

Unlike these Silicon Valley carpetbaggers that seek to profit off people´s data, we have declined repeated opportunities to sell, collect, or mine data, and just patriotically take…

It really does depend. There are people go by without ever questioning their wants, and never take responsibility for their own emotions in the most basic ways. They make every sin…

It absolutely reads like an ad and an a pedantic ad to boot. The system wasn't built to handle modern workloads, that might be part of why people decry it being ancient. Despite st…

Given that it's a completely nonsense answer among the outliers, I wouldn't be as concerned as to with the people that put it in the Balkans or confuse it with Turkey.

It means that you have been wholesale influenced rather than informed about the conflict that politicians are peddling to you, as you don't have a grasp on the most basic facts of …

Is it not interesting because of the lack of novelty, or not interesting because you think it's acceptable to want to kill someone but not to actually know much about them?

No, because Missouri is not a country. I'm always puzzled by this attitude that individual US states should have the same hierarchy in knowledge of the world as actual countries.

Also: A think tank making simplistic arguments to argue for social policies with far wider repercussions than its essayists could ever be bothered to cover. Who'da thunk?

This is a very simplistic analysis of these particular regulations, and not at all a way to extrapolate to regulations in general. If we have no way of making up for the water cons…

I know that Latin American successor states then went on to do the same and worse. The Chilean Congress only this year acknowledged the genocide of the peoples in Tierra del Fuego,…

Yes, it's a complex issue that evolved over the course of centuries. But it's a remarkable exception that the Mapuche managed to settle a border with the Crown. I've never said tha…

Yes, it is alive because the Spanish did do things like cutting the hands and feet of entire indigenous settlements, as they did with the village from which the mapuche general who…
